Les,
what controls the time the arc is on in the plasma drill operation? Not talking about delay time, just if there in any setting to adjust from a full drill setting to more like a peck? Is it set to the Minimum time already,and there is no way to shorten it up at all? I have been able to get a peck in the form of a divot on 16ga. Really nice ones too..with lowering the amps (20) on my machine. (A-60),and using a larger 120 amp nozzle to do the peck. It lays a real nice divot, and all the same with the valve built into the machine torch.(Victor SL100-SV) I have not even got around to bypassing arc good signal, and trying it,(have a switch) but I figured the dwell time was set somewhere else in the post processor..
(Mach-3)
Thanks,
Scott

Solved it by using my arc good bypass. Puts a smaller perfect divot, and they are all the same with the Victor valve in torch setup.. Drilled all the center divots but one, and punched the rest.. Works great...
